received from the cashier of a bank at
Fort Scott, Kan, asking that a youth
named w. P. Miller be located and de-
tanned. Detective Fred Smith was de-
tailed to hunt the young man. By
means of the postoffice he found that
Miller was passing under the name Of
Scoield, and for several days the manly
form of the detective might have been
seen in the entrance at the postoffice,
waiting for the appearance of the much
desired young man. Miller at last put
in an appearance and was captured. At
tina police station he stated that he had
not done anything wrong, but had sim
ply run away from home. kilograms

man arrived here and took charge of
Miller and started for Fort Scott with
him. Fred Smith made just 500 by his

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Presi-

men, he says: "The existing controversy
is one in which two nations are the parties
concerned. The relation contemplated
by the act of Congress is to be enforced,
not to protect solely any particular inter.
est, however valuable, but to maintain
the national honor, and thus protect all
our people. In this view the violation
of the Ann fishery rights aud unjust or
unfriendly acts towards that portion of
our citizens engaged IN this business is
but an occasion for iction, and eonsti-
tutes national affront, which gives birth
to, or may justify, retalia'ion. In the
performance Of that duty, which Con-
gress has imposed upon me under the
act referred to, I shall deem myself
bound to inflict no unnecessary damage
or injury upon any portion of our people,
but shall, nevertheless. be unfinching-
ly guided by the sense of what the self

may repose in safety. no sacrifice of per.

Bush,s Hallucination.

Z. H. Bush, whose diseased mind was
probably excited by the story of his i'm
agination published in the Tribune yes
terday morning, appeared in Justice
Austin's Courtroom shortly after 10
o'clock and asked that warrant be
issued for the arrest Of two physicians,
whom he said he knew had made away
with the body of his daughter. He was
told to visit Mr.. Dupuy, who would
make out the complaint. 1t appears
that he has hallucination in relation to
a daughter whom he calls Annie Bush,
and he has been seen on the street at all
hours of the night rushing around in
search of her. People who live in his
neighborhood say that he has frequently
got out of the window at night and raced
up and down on the piazza, and they, a.
well as those who saw him yesterday,
say that his mind is evidently unhinged.
L is the intention to examine him to-day
to see whether or not this statement is
substantiated.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHICAGO, April S.-Only nineteen
contractors responded to the call for a
mass meeting of master carpenters this
afternoon, to Independently consider the
demand of the strikers. The session
resulted merely in those contractors
present agreeing to attend another meet
ing to morrow night. Fights be-
tween the strikers and imported
carpenters were numerous to-day, non.
union men being compelled to quit work
in number of instances. Niue strikers
were arrested on this account and caused
considerable excitement, but no accident
resulted from the exchange of shots be-
tween policemen and strikers. A meet
ing of the Knights of Labor will be held
at which it is possible the
strike may be broken and great part OF
the 5000 men will decide to resume work

A GIGANTIC ORG ANIZATION
Being Discussed Among Miners
for their Bettcr Protection.

P1rTsBURG, April S.-The coal miners
throughout the country are discussing
the formation Of gigantic organization
by the amalgamation of the National
Federation of Miners and the Miners
National Assembly of the knights of
Labor. Heretofore considerable jeal-
ousy has been manifested between the
members of the two organizations, but
lately the officials have shown disposi-
tion to agree upon a plan of mutual
benefit. At recent meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Federation of the
Miners Association resolution asking
for o conference with the Executive
Board of the Miners Assembly was
adopted. The plan of the federation is
that the two Executive Boards shall
meet and draw Il set Of rules Or laws for
the government of mining affairs. These
laws are to provide for a representation
from both the open and social branches
of the organization. No person is to
serve as an officer unless he becomes a
member of the Knights of Labor. 1t is
understood that the idea is to have the
federation still retain its organization,
with the understanding that all of its
members shall also be Knights of Labor.
This will also be likely to bring all of
the outside Knights into the Federation
of United Miners, and then bring to-
gether both organizations. 1t is likely
that the Knights of Labor organization
will agree to the conference.
